What I'm Building

The systems, products, and experiments I am building.

This is the record of the work — led by Lyrn, the AI-native ecosystem I am building independently, alongside production AI systems inside a Fortune 100, a live publishing experiment, and two decades of delivered projects across many domains. Most of it predates the AI work. That is the point: the range is the credibility.

01

The flagship build

Lyrn

An AI-native operating environment for the enterprise.

Lyrn is the AI-native ecosystem I am building independently — an operating environment where a company's tools, data, and decisions run on a shared, persistent memory instead of a pile of disconnected apps.

Lyrn OS

The operating environment.

The layer where applications, tools, and operators run against one shared context. It is where the work actually happens, and where every action reads from and writes back to the same memory.

In development

Lyrn Memory

MemoryStack.net

The persistent memory layer.

The foundation everything else stands on — persistent organizational memory infrastructure that is LLM-agnostic and hierarchy-aware. It currently operates as MemoryStack.

In production

Systems running inside a Fortune 100.

Beyond the independent work, I build production AI applications inside a Fortune 100 — an ABM engine, an intelligent analysis app, a content engine, and a data-integrity system, with more in development. They are interconnected and share context across the stack.

See the production systems on the About page

Before the current AI work, I spent two decades building the marketing-operations and revenue systems that large organizations run on — automation, analytics, and the integrations that hold them together.

The experiment

The Digivisory experiment

Digivisory is my publishing test bed for AEO and GEO — a live experiment in how AI answer engines discover, cite, and surface content. It is a laboratory, not my primary brand.

The track record

Two decades of delivered work.

A catalog of projects across automation, analytics, compliance, web operations, product, and strategy. Few are AI. Together they show mastery built up over time, across many domains.

Context:

Showing 68 of 68 projects.
